The Lowlands of Holland

The lowlands of holland
荷蘭的低地

在結婚那晚
On the night that I was married
我正坐婚床
And upon my marriage bed
走進一位光頭船長
There came a bold sea captain
他站在床頭邊上
And he stood at my bedhead
說著：“起來吧，新婚的年輕人”
Saying, 'arise, arise, young wedded man
請跟我來
And come along with me
到荷蘭的低地
To the lowlands of Holland
去與敵人奮戰
To fight the enemy'
你看，那兒是塊多可愛的地方
Now then, Holland is a lovely land
那兒糧食豐收，牛羊肥壯
And upon it grows fine grain
那兒肯定是個適合居住的好地方
Surely tis a place of residence
我們一個夥伴曾在那居住
For a soldier to remain
那兒甘蔗盛產
Where the sugar cane is plentiful
那兒茶樹油亮
And the tea grows on the tree
可我只有一個心上人
Well, I never had but the one sweetheart
現在他將離我去往遠方
And now hes gone far away from me
我將不會再束起腰身

不會再仔細梳理細發
I will wear no staysail around my waist
不會將絲巾圍上脖頸
Nor combs are in my hair
因為已經無人觀賞
I will wear no scarf around my neck
我也將終身不嫁
for to save my beauty there
願你歸家
And never will I marry
因那海上季風與巨浪
Not until the day that I die
已使我們相隔天涯
Since these four winds and these stormy seas
Came between my love and I
